This track proposes to continue and extend the past tracks on philosophical approaches to Information Systems. Interest in this field appears to be growing, as shown by the filled workshop and the two panels at this year’s AMCIS. In addition to the mini-tracks proposed for this year, we would like to organize a panel to consider how social media influences people’s beliefs and behaviors.
